In her poem “All Heart,” Amy Herring, a student in the Bedlam Farm Writing Workshop, writes  that she wants to “write a big poem, a fat poem, a poem whose breasts bulge out of her dress. I want a womanly one, with huge hips who wedges herself between tables of men clunking down baskets of bread and mugs.”

In fact, Amy, a novelist and writer from Williamstown, Mass, has written a big and fat and wonderful book of poems, 31 of them, they are on sale at Amazon for $9.95.

My Writing Workshop has gone into its sixth year, and I am glad I stuck it out for this long. Amy is working on her first novel, and is a very gifted and accomplished poet, I am fortunate to have her in my class.

Like all poets, she is figuring out how to get the word out about her new book, Flounder. Maybe I can help.

I hope to be highlighting some of the outstanding work these students are doing,  this is a class  of remarkable and creative women. The class has already published four books, and three more are on the way.

How great.

Please take a look at Amy’s new book “Flounder,” you can find it on Amazon here.

Trust me, if you can. If you love poetry or beauty of thought, this will be about the best $9.95 you have spent. One of my core lessons in the class is to urge gifted writers to use new technology to get their messages out. Life is not easy for poets, or for any new writers.

They need and deserve our support. Take a look at Flounder. You won’t regret it.
